Streamline the installation of your trailer brake controller with this custom adapter. Simply connect the wires of the harness to your brake controller and then plug the other end into the built-in port beneath your vehicle's dash.
Features:
To install your electric brake controller, you need to connect the wiring of the controller to your vehicle. Certain auto manufacturers offer pre-wired options, typically known as tow packages, wherein wiring is run for you from the dash to the trailer connector on the back of your vehicle. When this is done, a port is installed at your dash so that you can easily plug in a brake controller.
This adapter plugs into the 4-pin connector on your vehicle's built-in brake control wiring harness. The harness is located underneath the dash, to the left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal.
To hook this adapter up to your trailer brake controller, just connect the 4 wires of the harness - ground, power, brake switch, and brake power - to the corresponding wires on the brake controller. If your brake controller came with a plug built into its wiring harness, you will have to cut off the plug and connect to the wires themselves.

Streamline the installation of your trailer brake controller with this custom adapter. Simply connect the wires of the harness to your brake controller and then plug the other end into the built-in port beneath your vehicle's dash.install was seamless. soldered together the two wiring harness and mounted the main unit on a metal brace in the dash and the control knob on the dash panel. Took some time to make the cuts in the metal bracket for the bolts to hold the brake controller box, had to use a dremel to make cross since my drill would not fit under the dash to make a good hole. But some washers, machine bolts and washers and the controller firmly in place. Only wish there was a thin metal label that would fit on the knob to identify it as the brake controller.
I have not been able to test it with a trailer yet but everything checks out well. Missed my opportunity to check it with a 7800lb travel trailer of a friends but that far exceeds the rating of my little 2005 Dakota V8 Quad Cab 4x4. Should handle a Rpod R185 with flying colors.
Plugged right into the factory plug. Mine was labeled so it was easy to find.
Your information was easy to order correct product. I had no experience with auto or truck parts. I was able to order correct part for sons truck and new 7 ft by 14 dump trailer that was also purchased. We received your priducts on Friday and purchased trailer on Saturday.
Sometimes I have to pull the fuse and reinstall or the brake controller does not function. seems to be a bit jumpy sometimes and smooth others. i would be open to suggestions. this is the first of this type i have installed.
this is one part of the order I received from E-Trailer 2 days ago. It connects the electric brakes on my camper to my 07 Dodge 2500 Diesel. I buy a pretty fair amount of things from E-Trailer and I have NEVER be let down by them! I haul a 14,000 pound 5th Wheel camper through the mountains of West Virginia and I started having some trouble with the old brake controller and I couldn't afford to take a chance when it comes to stoping under all conditions! So I buy from E-Trailer because I know they will always stand behind what they sell!
ETrailer is my main place to go to by all my RV products online great how to videos and product reviews. Really makes shopping easy!
Before I even get home to get my mail "Carol C" is already begging for praise. If you have to fish for reviews, i wonder if i should just return your junk
Works great! I love that the controller is hidden and only the dial is displayed.
Went in very easily, No problems.
I haven't tried it yet, No trailer yet!
Item was shipped promptly and was easy to install works great on my 20,000 pound felling goosneck trailer with 4 electric over hydraulic disc brakes.
I was extremely impressed with the quality of the harness. It was all quality parts. I was somewhat nervous about the wire color codes.. I was “way” overthinking things and then realized etrailer had already configured the wires for the controller I had purchased and all I had to do was solder the corresponding colors together. I made a very simple process seem difficult. Etrailer made it easy!!
Product worked perfectly for the installation of my Redarc trailer controller. Stripped and spliced all wire directly to the controller, and soldered the joints before heat shrinking them. Wire is correctly sized, and in a loom.
Clear instructions and worked as advert ised
Great product
Super easy to install. Put the dial right in the dash.
as usual, the item arrived quickly, worked fine. Thanks.
Product arrived earlier than expected.

First and foremost, check your ground and double check that you are getting 12 volt power to the black wire on the controller. I would also check the regular fuse in slot 6 and a J-Case Fuse in slot 63 that power the brake controller. With the control module having the accelerometer, it is best to have it secured as tightly as possible to ensure that you get accurate braking.
